    30Jesus replied,“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead.

    31Now by chance a priest was going down that road, but when he saw the injured man he passed by on the other side.

    32So too a Levite, when he came up to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

    33But a Samaritan who was traveling came to where the injured man was, and when he saw him, he felt compassion for him.

    34He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring olive oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

    35The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying,‘Take care of him, and whatever else you spend, I will repay you when I come back this way.’
